ABOUT BASETEN

Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma, and Writer. By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F https://www.baseten.co/blog/announcing-our-series-f/, led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products.

THE ROLE

We're building a high-performing strategic finance team and looking for exceptional people at every level, from strong individual contributors to senior finance leaders ready to build and lead teams. Our revenue scales with customer usage, our costs scale with GPU capacity we commit to ahead of demand, and both move faster than any annual plan. That makes growth, portfolio construction, pricing, margin, and compute capacity decisions business model decisions. You'll sit at the center of them, working directly with Finance leadership and the executives who run the business to shape the company's trajectory.

This posting is intentionally broad within strategic finance. We'll match your scope and title to your experience and interest. We are looking for both specialists and generalists. The common thread is ownership: you'll take on hard, ambiguous problems, build what doesn't exist yet, and get more responsibility as fast as you can handle it. We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification listed below.

THE RESPONSIBILITIES

- Financial Modeling: Build and maintain models across revenue, gross margin, compute costs, headcount, and strategic bets that leadership uses to make decisions.

- Business Partnership: Partner with leaders across GTM, Product, Infrastructure, and Operations to set targets, evaluate investments, and work through operational tradeoffs.

- Unit Economics: Analyze the metrics that define a usage-based business, including ARR, consumption trends, gross margin, GPU utilization, retention, and GTM efficiency.

- Pricing and Deals: Shape pricing, packaging, and the structure of strategic customer and supplier deals.

- Board and Investors: Help prepare board materials, investor updates, and fundraising analyses.

- Systems and Scale: Build the reporting, dashboards, and processes that let finance scale as fast as our revenue. Use AI and automation extensively to keep the team fast and lean.

- Strategic Projects: Turn ambiguous business questions into clear analysis and recommendations, from market sizing to scenario planning to new business lines.

- Leadership: For senior hires, own a major area of finance end to end, build and develop a team, and act as a thought partner to Finance leadership and the executive team.

THE REQUIREMENTS

- Experience in strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, PE/VC investing, and/or consulting. Prior experience in high-growth technology is strongly preferred

- Excellent financial modeling and analytical skills

- Ability to synthesize complex information into clear recommendations for executives

- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment

- Strong attention to detail with a bias toward ownership and execution

- Excellent written and verbal communication, including explaining financial tradeoffs to product and engineering audiences and influencing senior stakeholders

- Sound judgment when data is incomplete, and comfort making a call and revisiting it as you learn more

- High intellectual curiosity and interest in AI / infrastructure / developer tooling

- Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills; familiarity with SQL or BI tools is a plus

STRONG CANDIDATES MAY ALSO HAVE

- 4+ years of experience. Level and title will match your experience

- Experience at an AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, or usage-based software company

- Familiarity with GPU and compute economics, or data center and cloud contracts

- Experience in sales finance, sales compensation, pricing, or deal desk

- Experience building a finance function from the ground up at a hypergrowth company

- Prior quantitative or technical experience

BENEFITS

- Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
